lyrics

It should be a sweet thing, shouldn’t it?
When you’re the object of romantic interest
But I’ve spent my life ducking
The bouquet at every wedding banquet
My heart goes out to you
The one that love has made a fool
You see someone else when looking at me

In another lifetime it could have been meant to be
Don’t care about superstition or astrology
Don’t tell me you’ll wait
Don’t waste your love on me

When I go home alone at night
I feel a sense of relief
Nobody’s waiting up for me
No expectations I didn’t meet
Some folks may think it’s lonely
but they really just don’t know
It’s worse to be with someone and feel just as alone

In another lifetime it could have been meant to be
Don’t care about superstition or astrology
Don’t tell me you’ll wait
Don’t waste your love on me

It’s not about you
I’m not being contrary
I won’t apologize for wanting to feel free
It’s not selfish, oh believe me, it’s not sad
Go and love your own damn self if you want it that bad

I don’t want to clean anybody's mess but my own
I don’t want to explain myself for being on my phone
And when I fall in love, it wont change what I believe
I don’t need anyone to complete me
You can give your love and still be free

In another lifetime it could have been meant to be
Don’t care about superstition or astrology
In another lifetime it could have been meant to be
Don’t care about superstition or astrology
Don’t tell me you’ll wait
Don’t waste your love on me
